10.15 is a pathetic time to put the show on, and the way C5 shunt it around to make way for other things can do nothing but damage it. A 'soap opera' show like this one requires a static slot to flourish.

This really is the best show in years so far, aside from no LF. Endemol should be congratulated, but C5 need shooting for their scheduling.

How ?

Tonights highlights are on at 9pm and are up against Downton Abbey, Spooks and Hes just not that into you on Channel 4.

Well done C5 you're doing a great job on allocating time slots

This could be the night it drops to 500,000 or something. They are getting it all arse backwards... it could have been on 9:00 last night and 10:00 tonight. Screw the boxing.

Yeah I know but I'm laughing at how Channel 5 is bringing this all on themselves because they don't seem to be putting much effort into making it a success. They could do so much different with the format, tasks etc but its like they reprinted CH4's BB but with even less care and attention.

joeysteele · 18-09-2011, 12:44 PM

I know a lot of people who will be mssing BB tonight to watch Downton Abbey,I am not one of them but makes little sense to put BB on against that just coming back.

Downton Abbey has had masses of publicity too.

fingers · 18-09-2011, 02:06 PM

Channel 5 are slavishly following the usual american network formula, if you want to ditch a programme that you bought in error or simply want to get rid of, screw around with its air times then when the ratings drop you have an excuse to drop it.

BTW I don't think I'm too far out when I labelled this "Desmond's Folly"

Visage · 18-09-2011, 02:10 PM

My mum and sister are both big fans of BB they've never missed a show, however because it's shown late (for them) they both watch on catch-up the following afternoon.

I've never watched an episode of BB live in nearly 5 years, I always sky+ my shows and watch them at my own leisure.

I wonder how many other viewers watch the show via another option.

tweetypiebabe1 · 18-09-2011, 02:12 PM

It was a SATURDAY night. Isn't that like one of the worse nights. Especially during this time of year when they have to battle against
X Factor
Red or Black
the Jonathon Ross Show
Xtra Factor

and whatever else comes on TV.

Remember as well, Big Brother isn't normally on during this time of the year. By now they would've crowned the winner and be preparing for CBB. That also has a lot to do with it especially since they're fighting with shows like XFactor. I don't know if they'll be on when I'm a Celebrity comes out but then they'll have that to war with as well.

David R · 18-09-2011, 02:42 PM

I think another reason why the rating are quite poor is the lack of the 5HD channel on freeview HD. If you think about it most people would rather watch a prime time program in HD if they have the ability to and seeing as BB 2011 was the first one to be filmed in HD its ludicrous to have not had 5HD on freeview in preparation.

All the other programs it is going up against are on Freeview HD channels (things like Downton Abbey) so how on earth can it compete!

Jordan. · 18-09-2011, 02:53 PM

If they don't move the time slot to 9pm from now on they're fools. When it was onstraight after XF it was doing fine because it took a portion of their viewers.

We'll see if tonight proves this.

Nikkos · 18-09-2011, 03:16 PM

Get together 14 wannabes and this is what happens!

CharlieO · 18-09-2011, 04:00 PM

There is no point making excuses for its time slot. They promised Biggest Brother Ever and that should have been no matter the competition. Everyone needs to face the fact Channel 5 mucked up this series.

people can't wait to moan about it...every decent bb fan knows it takes about 4 weeks until people sort themselves out..the first few weeks are always slow, this one however has been pretty decent in comparison..How do you get this, "people are already bored" info from..!
